 Kevin D. Leago, PTA, LMT Kevin Leago is a physical therapy assistant, graduating from Colby Community College in Kansas in 1990. He enjoyed the "hands -on- approach" so much in physical therapy that he also became a Licensed Massage Therapist, graduating from Omaha School of Massage in 1993. He performs various massage techniques with emphasis not only on relaxation, but also assisting with conditions such as diabetes, musculature imbalances, acute or chronic headaches, back pain, and fibromyalgia. Kevin treats each massage as a custom massage as each person requires something a little different whether it is a light or deep massage, acupressure, or myofascial release. Kevin has lived in Lincoln since 1990 with his wife and three children. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ .jpg) Lynette Windhorst, Certified Pilates Instructor
